“…The male-to-female ratio in the prevalence of spondylolysis in the current study was 3:1 and is slightly higher than the 2:1 ratio reported in other studies [2,18,22,37,36]. The male-to-female ratio in the prevalence of isthmic spondylolisthesis was 2:1 that is agreement with previously reported [34].…”

“…Additional findings of the current study support epidemiological patterns previously reported 2,6,9,11,28 and showed a male preponderance in terms of spondylolysis and isthmic spondylolisthesis. In the current study, we found that the male-to-female ratio of 2:1 is similar to previous reports.…”

An important part of planning a study is deciding what risk of drawing incorrect conclusions is acceptable. Type I error occurs when a study draws a false-positive conclusion. A false negative, not appreciating a difference when one exists, is known as type II error. This article reviews the difference between the 2 common types of error and discusses conventions used to set acceptable error levels.

“…Degenerative spondylolisthesis develops as a result of a process of degeneration of the lumbar spine. 2,16 It is characterized in most patients by hypertrophied arthritis of the facet joint, resulting in segmental instability predominantly in the sagittal plane. 16 Disc degeneration is associated with degenerative spondylolisthesis to a varying degree.…”

“…2,16 It is characterized in most patients by hypertrophied arthritis of the facet joint, resulting in segmental instability predominantly in the sagittal plane. 16 Disc degeneration is associated with degenerative spondylolisthesis to a varying degree. Decrease in intervertebral space size, the osteophytic formation and ossification of spinal ligaments, and degeneration of the facet joint were proposed by Kirkaldy-Willis and Farfan 12 as radiographic findings of restabilization.…”

Object. Controversy exists concerning the indications for surgery and choice of surgical procedure for patients with degenerative spondylolisthesis. The goals of this study were to determine the clinical course of nonsurgically managed patients with degenerative spondylolisthesis as well as the indications for surgery. Methods. A total of 145 nonsurgically managed patients with degenerative spondylolisthesis were examined annually for a minimum of 10 years follow-up evaluation. Radiographic changes, changes in clinical symptoms, and functional prognosis were surveyed. Progressive spondylolisthesis was observed in 49 patients (34%). There was no correlation between changes in clinical symptoms and progression of spondylolisthesis. The intervertebral spaces of the slipped segments were decreased significantly in size during follow-up examination in patients in whom no progression was found. Low-back pain improved following a decrease in the total intervertebral space size. A total of 84 (76%) of 110 patients who had no neurological deficits at initial examination remained without neurological deficit after 10 years of follow up. Twenty-nine (83%) of the 35 patients who had neurological symptoms, such as intermittent claudication or vesicorectal disorder, at initial examination and refused surgery experienced neurological deterioration. The final prognosis for these patients was very poor. Conclusions. Low-back pain was improved by restabilization. Conservative treatment is useful for patients who have low-back pain with or without pain in the lower extremities. Surgical intervention is indicated for patients with neurological symptoms including intermittent claudication or vesicorectal disorder, provided that a good functional outcome can be achieved.
